<title>About Logical Volume Management (LVM)</title>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>LVM manages disk drives. It allows multiple drives and partitions
|
||||
to be combined into larger <emphasis>volume groups</emphasis>, assists in
|
||||
making backups through a <emphasis>snapshot</emphasis>, and allows for
|
||||
dynamic volume resizing. It can also provide mirroring similar to
|
||||
a RAID 1 array.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>A complete discussion of LVM is beyond the scope of this introduction,
|
||||
but basic concepts are presented below.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>To run any of the commands presented here, the <xref linkend='lvm2'/>
|
||||
package must be installed. All commands must be run as the <systemitem
|
||||
class="username">root</systemitem> user.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Management of disks with lvm is accomplished using the following
|
||||
concepts: </para>

|

<para>To give a concrete example, suppose that we have two 2 TB disks.
|
||||
Also suppose a really large amount of space is required for a very large database,
|
||||
mounted on <filename class='directory'>/srv/mysql</filename>. This is what
|
||||
the initial set of partitions would look like:</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<screen><literal>Partition Use Size Partition Type
|
||||
/dev/sda1 /boot 100MB 83 (Linux)
|
||||
/dev/sda2 / 10GB 83 (Linux)
|
||||
/dev/sda3 swap 2GB 82 (Swap)
|
||||
/dev/sda4 LVM remainder 8e (LVM)
|
||||
/dev/sdb1 swap 2GB 82 (Swap)
|
||||
/dev/sdb2 LVM remainder 8e (LVM)</literal></screen>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>First initialize the physical volumes:</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<screen><userinput>pvcreate /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb2</userinput></screen>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Next create a volume group named lfs-lvm:</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<screen><userinput>vgcreate lfs-lvm /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb2</userinput></screen>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The status of the volume group can be checked by running the command
|
||||
<command>vgscan</command>. Now create the logical volumes. Since there is
|
||||
about 3900 GB available, leave about 900 GB free for expansion. Note that the
|
||||
logical volume named <emphasis>mysql</emphasis> is larger than any physical
|
||||
disk. </para>
|
||||
|
||||
<screen><userinput>lvcreate --name mysql --size 2500G lfs-lvm
|
||||
lvcreate --name home --size 500G lfs-lvm</userinput></screen>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Finally the logical volumes can be formatted and mounted. In this
|
||||
example, the jfs file system (<xref linkend='jfsutils'/>) is used for
|
||||
demonstration purposes.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<screen><userinput>mkfs -t ext4 /dev/lfs-lvm/home

mkfs -t jfs /dev/lfs-lvm/mysql

|
||||
mkdir -p /srv/mysql
|
||||
mount /dev/lfs-lvm/mysql /srv/mysql</userinput></screen>

|
||||
<para>The LFS boot scripts automatically make these file systems available
|
||||
to the system in the checkfs script. Edit the <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>
|
||||
file as required to automatically mount them.</para>

<para>A LVM logical volume can host a root filesystem, but requires the use
